•ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when it’s practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

•DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

•DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits cutters, and the like.

•REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the machine.

•USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.

•NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

•CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

•DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

•NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
